20100009397 | SUBSTRATE-MIMETIC AKT INHIBITOR - Disclosed herein is a species of peptide and non-peptide inhibitors of Akt, an oncogenic protein. Beginning with a residue of Akt target substrate GSK-3, the functional domains of the GSK-3 residue were characterized. Functionally homologous non-peptide groups were substituted for the amino acids of the GSK-3 creating a hybrid peptide-non-peptide and non-peptide compounds capable of binding to Akt. The non-peptide compounds show increased stability and rigidity compared to peptide counterparts and are less susceptible to degradation. The bound non-peptide compounds exhibit an inhibitory effect on Akt, similar to peptide-based Akt inhibitors. | 01-14-2010 |

20120330824 | CASH RETRIEVAL USING PAYMENT PROVIDER - A payment provider receives a request from a sender to send cash to a recipient, where the request includes an identifier, such as a phone number, of the recipient and an amount to send. If the request can be approved, the payment provider generates a one-time code associated with the request and transmits the code to the recipient. The recipient is then able to enter, present, or otherwise communicate the code to a cash dispenser (such as an ATM, kiosk, clerk or teller), which then communicates the code and other needed information to the payment provider. If approved, the cash dispenser can give the cash to the recipient. Both sender and recipient are not required to have accounts with the payment provider or a bank. | 12-27-2012 |
